Setting: large urban city family practice clinic which employs physicians and nurse practitioners.

Your next room has 2 charts in the box. It is the mother and son of a family that you know well. You review the chart before entering the room to familiarize yourself with these patients. Both present today with complaints of fatigue.

When you enter the room you see a woman who appears her stated age sitting in the chair and a boy who looks about 10 years old sitting on the exam table. You introduce yourself as you always do and ask what brings them both in to see you today.

Mary states, “We have both been usually tired. I have noticed Michael has not been himself for a few weeks, maybe more. He had a cold like rest of the family had but he just seemed to have it worse. He seems to have no energy, is never hungry anymore and has lost some weight. He seems to be always thirsty and he actually wet the bed last week. He has been sleeping more but I thought maybe he was growing”

Mary states “I have not felt like I had any energy since I got that cold about 6 weeks ago. I am always tired and my eyes are always puffy. I know I have a really busy life but I am more tired than usual. I come home from work and I just want to go to bed. I’m cold all the time and I seem to be having more headaches too”

  Your next patient is a work in for abdominal pain.

  When reviewing the chart you see that this is Patrick Smith, age 42. You met him last month when he brought his mother-in-law in for a sick visit. You remember because you treated him as well for a skin condition.

  Patrick says he is in a lot of pain. He thought it would go away but it is lasting and seems to be getting worse. He is also nauseous. He doesn’t think it is anything that he ate and no one at home has had the stomach flu. It is getting worse as he has been sitting in the office. He cannot find a comfortable position to sit.

  Today is another busy in your family practice clinic. You note your next visit is a work in for ear pain. The patients are a set of four year old twins. The entire family has been coming to the clinic for years which is probably why they were worked in despite your full schedule. You review the chart before entering the room to familiarize yourself with these patients.

  When you enter the room you note a Caucasian woman who appears to be about 40 years old. She is well groomed and appropriately dressed for the weather. There are also two boys who appear to be about 4 years old who are sitting on the exam table playing games on their tablets and chatting to each other.

  You introduce yourself as you always do and ask what brings them to the clinic today.

  The mother states “Tommy woke up in the middle of the night saying his ear hurt so badly it woke him up. He says it hurts to touch. Paddy has had a cold for a few and been talking about his ears popping and feeling stuffy. I thought it was just the cold. He woke up this morning and said his ear really hurts too. He also feels warm to me”

  HPI

  Mom describes the boys as overall healthy and active 4-year-old children. Their older sister just got over a cold. The rest of the family has been well but Mom noticed she has a sore throat this morning and asks if you can look at her too as long as they are here. Her throat has hurt since yesterday, and hurts worse when she swallows. She has not eaten or drank anything because it hurts too much.
